Hi Emma!

Thank you for posting this. I'm having a problem with them right now and I have no idea what to do. I've been
waiting to speak with someone for about 2 months and there has been no
reply via email. When I finally received an email, it stated I already
spoke to someone and the issue was resolved - when in fact I had never
even spoken to anyone.

That's too bad to hear. I don't know much about Uber's "shady business practices" but I do love their service and uberX is great!

Hello, what books would you recommend to read to help gain a better understanding of the business world? I just finished undergrad with a degree in political science, and would really like to get into the digital strategy field. Any good introductory books out there to get me started? Thanks so much

Books have been urging people to stop watching PBS for decades. I'll put my money on the idiot box remaining appropriately named.

Re: Google Calls its Next Android OS… KitKat?

Good on them for letting Google use the name. This feels like something that should definitely happen just once though. It becoming a trend would be annoying to deal with.

What about Keek?

See for me Vine is a bit of a ghost town and I went from disliking Instagram to becoming an avid user. I'll give Vine till the end of the summer to determine if they have the staying power or not.

Re: Why I’m Really Excited About the Future of Television

The real influence will be on those who own the content, not the delivery. Look to enterprises like Monumental Network in Washington, DC. They own three major league sports teams, and have a social media and web presence. Watch as they are unlikely to renew their broadcast contracts, and instead deliver their content via the Internet.

Had no idea what the video was about - but verra cute guy and loved the song and the fact my name was inserted - but only downside - get the coupon at the end - oh vey - however am past the age of needing what they are selling - never mind it has added to the amusement factor for me having passed it on to familly/friends - bring on more of whomever HE is - yum!

Re: Was the 2012 Budweiser Superbowl Commercial Staged?

amigo — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 11:27:38 -0000

add wasn't staged. I played in the game. They did however edit the order of scenes and plays. You can see real OT goal in the making-of video.

Re: Why Advertising

Mike — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 13:44:28 -0000

well no, it wasnt implied because "better" is subjective. The bottom line is a) you feel you are well suited and b) you feel like you have to justify it to yourself. That's a wonky perspective. Either you love it...full stop or you love it with condition. It would seem you love it with condition which ultimately mean you are constantly advertising advertising to yourself. How much of what you have done can you look back at and say "I enriched the medium within which I work?" People outside of our industry care SO little about advertising...it's ridiculous

Fun commercial, but was kinda spoiled after watching it's inspiration from improv everywhere :(
